project or retainer?

Imagine your content, simplified. Our monthly retainer clients benefit from having fresh, engaging, and on-trend content delivered on the 1st of each month, every month. This makes sure that their content calendar is always filled. This also enables our team to work a month ahead so that we can plan for seasonal content and brand initiatives. 

 

As a monthly client, you'll always have first dibs on any open production days if you ever have a one-off project that comes up that needs a little extra work beyond our monthly agreement. Think special ad campaigns for print or digital or imagery for a new product line or packaging refresh.
